Default Fantastic Sailing again!

Here's the current list of LIS PHRF racers:

And here's the list that reflects average ratings across the country:

The typical rating given to the 35s5 is 129 for WK/SR. Last year it
was lowered to 126, but I don't know why. Google 35s5 WK PHRF and the
most common number is 129. Now do Nonsuch 36 PHRF and almost
everything is 156. Get over it, Jeff. It's not a racer and needs MUCHO
air to get off it's ass.

No NS 36 has been even close to the speed of the 35s5, Jeff. Sorry.
Like I said, I guess all of the Nonsuch vessels we see are badly
sailed, since they are always pretty slow unless it's blowing hard!
You are really crazy. My 35s5 carries 371 sq. feet of main and 302 sq
feet of headsail and weighs 3 TONS less than the tubby nonsuch. In the
real world, Jeff...which you should visit, the boats are not close at
all. The 35s5 trounces boats like the Nonsuch and has fun doing it!

But I've enjoyed the "idea" that a Nonsuch is faster or as fast as a
J30, which is a bit slower than my boat! I oughta know since a J30
owner sails on my boat often and along with it. He must not know how
to sail either. That's your only answer, Jeff....no one can sail!
